40% of housework will be assigned to robots

Experts predict that when the AI revolution breaks out, 40% of house-related jobs
will be replaced by robots within the next 10 years.
On February 23, the scientific journal Plos One published the results of a survey of
285 leading AI experts in the UK and Japan on the group of 17 household chores
most susceptible to automation and robot replacement in a day. next decade.
According to these experts, 39% of jobs related to housework, i.e. only performing
a certain task such as taking care of others, laundry, cooking, pet service are likely
to be done by robots. completely.
Meanwhile, a team of researchers at Microsoft is also planning to free ChatGPT
from the confines of the computer and bring it to the real world. "Our goal was to
see if ChatGPT could think beyond text and make inferences about the physical
world, thereby helping with robot tasks," the team said. According to them, one
day, users will be able to ask the ChatGPT-integrated robot through commands
such as "heat the food", "get something with sugar and a red logo".
Ekaterina Hertog, an associate professor of AI at the University of Oxford, said the
replacement of robots in domestic chores was long-foretold. This is also a
development step to improve gender equality. In many countries, women are doing
nameless work with great intensity, but not in the right roles. For example, in the
UK, women do "unpaid work" twice as many as men, while Japan has an even
higher rate of 80%.
However, she worries that privacy issues may be compromised as robots become
more common. "In the age of smart technology, a device like Alexa can listen,
record what we do and report back," Ms Hertog told the BBC . "Society will have
new problems when the smart home is full of robots. I don't think society is ready
to manage things that are about to attack people's privacy."
